I'm using Fedora 14 and I think I have the correct RPMs installed in order for Rhythmbox to play MP3s. $ rpm -q rhythmbox rhythmbox-0.13.3-1.fc14.i686 $ rpm -q gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-ugly-0.10.16-2.fc14.i686 This set up works fine for the vast majority of MP3s that I have. But I've recently bought some MP3s from a download site which Rhythmbox doesn't recognise. There seems to be a difference in format which the 'file' command recognises. Here's an example of a file that works. $ file Loose\ Change/01\ -\ The\ A\ Team.mp3 Loose Change/01 - The A Team.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.3.0, contains: MPEG ADTS, layer III, v1, 128 kbps, 44.1 kHz, JntStereo And here's an example of one that doesn't. $ file Songs\ I\ Wrote\ With\ Amy/Songs-I-wrote-with-Amy-2010_Cold-Coffee.mp3 Songs I Wrote With Amy/Songs-I-wrote-with-Amy-2010_Cold-Coffee.mp3: Audio file with ID3 version 2.4.0, contains: Annoyingly the MP3s work fine on my Android phone and on a Mac. It only seems to be the GStreamer plugin that doesn't play them. And that means that it's unlikely that the download site will listen to any complaints. I should also point out that some MP3s from this site work just fine. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Are there any other tests I can carry out to work out what the differences are?
